In his opening remarks at the Special Plenary Session 1 of 65th SIAM Annual Convention Mr Shenu Agarwal, Vice President, SIAM and Managing Director & CEO, Ashok Leyland Ltd., said, “India’s commercial vehicle sector, the backbone of our economy, is undergoing a profound transformation. Growth in light commercial vehicles and buses is being fueled by the expansion of e-mobility and renewed government focus on strengthening public transport. We are not just moving goods and people, but serving as an engine of our nation’s economic health. The sector is committed to ambitious net zero targets and pioneering a circular economy with rapid deployment of electric buses and commercial vehicles. These steps have already saved thousands of tons of carbon emissions. Challenges remain in infrastructure and financing, but our collective resolve will ensure India not only meets sustainability goals but sets a global benchmark in responsible, innovative mobility.” #SIAM #BTNR #SIAMAC2025 #SustainableMobility
